==Wallflower==.—­After the summer bedding plants are cleared, Wallflowers may be usefully employed to fill beds with green foliage all the winter.  They will flower freely in spring, when their colour and fragrance will be especially welcome, and they can be removed in time to make way for a different display for the summer.

==Winter Aconite== is not dismayed by frost or snow, but will put forth its golden blossoms in the dreariest days of February, and after the flowers have passed away the foliage will remain as an ornament.  To put in single roots is useless; it is far better to plant a few large patches than to fritter away the flower in a number of small and inconspicuous groups.

==November==

==Cyclamen.==—­Where there is a large demand for this flower, another sowing may be made this month, unless it was done in October.  With so important a subject it is not wise to depend on a single venture.  The seedlings will afford a valuable succession to those started in August.

==Gladiolus.==—­The soil which answers best for the autumn-flowering section is a medium friable loam, with a cool rich subsoil.  A light loam can be made suitable by trenching, and putting a thick layer of cow-manure at the bottom of each trench.  And a heavy soil may be reduced to the proper condition by the free admixture of light loam or sand.  Autumn is the proper time for doing this work, and the ground should be left rough, so that it may benefit by winter frosts.  Wireworms are deadly enemies to the Gladiolus corms, and an effort should be made to clear them out.  Happily, they will flock to traps such as Potatoes and Rape cake, and their destruction is a mere question of daily attention.  Planting must, of course, be deferred until spring.

==Hyacinthus candicans== is generally grown in the company of other flowers which attain to something like its own imposing proportions.  In good soil the spikes grow three feet high.  It may be planted from this time until March.

==Lilies== are an ornament to the cottage garden, and they grace the grandest conservatory.  Many of the most superb varieties, including the king of all the race, =L. auratum=, can be magnificently flowered in the open border; and we have seen fine specimens of the =Lancifolium= varieties grown in pots without the aid of pit or frame.  It is therefore obvious that there are no difficulties in the culture of Lilies.  In borders the best soil for them is a deep, rich, moist loam.  Peat and leaf-mould also answer; but a stiff clay will not do unless it has been cultivated and mixed with lighter stuff.  Plant the roots at least six inches deep, at any time they are in a dormant state, or can be obtained in pots.  Their position in the border should be clearly marked, or the roots may sustain injury when the soil is forked over.
